Theft An officer received a delayed report of a bicycle light that was stolen from either the ESC or the WSC bike racks. The complainant stated that their bicycle was locked and unattended for several hours and someone had taken the light from it. The complainant was less concerned about the value of the light and more worried about the fact that they had to ride home without a light.
Medical BYU Police, BYU EMS, and Provo Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the Indoor Practice Facility (IPF) on a report of a student who had dislocated their arm. Provo Fire and Rescue splinted the student's arm. The student signed a waiver stating they did not want to be medically transported. BYU EMS assisted the student to their vehicle, and their spouse drove them to Utah Valley Hospital Emergency.
Medical Officers were dispatched to the Jesse Knight Building for a student who had fainted several times. On scene, BYU EMS conducted an evaluation and learned there were pre-existing medical conditions that had still not been fully diagnosed. The patient elected to go home to recover.
Information An officer was dispatched on a harassment detail. The reporting party advised they had been receiving texts from two unknown numbers asking them to send personal information and nude photos. The officer attempted to call the phone numbers and found they were both invalid phone lines and seemed to be spoof lines. The officer advised the complainant about potential scammer tactics and advised them not to send any pictures or money and to block the numbers.
Suspicious Officers were dispatched to the area of central campus on report of a suspicious individual who appeared to be disoriented and experiencing homelessness. The subject was described as being 50-60 years of age, thin build, and wearing a black jacket and orange beanie. They were last seen walking north between the JSB and BNSB. The report had a time delay of 10-15 minutes. Officers responded to the area on foot and checked for approx. 20 minutes but did not locate the described individual and did not receive any other complaints. Officers also checked the WSC but did not locate the individual.
Citizen Contact An officer was contacted by dispatch advising they had received a video showing a traffic offense on campus. Dispatch provided the officer with the video which showed a vehicle driving on the sidewalk near Heritage Halls. The officer made contact with the registered owner who explained that they drove on the sidewalk to get around multiple vehicles that were blocking traffic. The officer educated the driver on potential consequences and traffic rules and explained that they would receive a citation if that sort of behavior continued. The driver was released with a verbal warning.
